Three cheers for old people! This was fun, and great to hear Tom's picks and thoughts. I lean here towards the Charli and Chappell (though maybe not quite as keen on the latter as many others seem to be). Interesting dialogue between you two on lyrics. I think Tom and I have had similar discussions over the years.
I'll admit I've never cared much for the little bit of St. Vincent I've listened to but will give this a go.
I can't tell you my own top 5 because I focused more on albums this year and still have this weird thing about songs/singles that they need to function for me as part of daily life in order to really matter. I mean, I hardly live or die by that credo but there's a "real time" thing with singles that is important to me, still.

St. Vincent isn't really my thing either. I can appreciate her technical abilities but the songs don't usually stick with me.
